I just can't believe after all the woeful performances , lack of heart, selfishness, rubbish that our boys put out week after week, and people still think we will beat a quality, well drilled team like Geelong . I hate Geelong but they are a 110 point better side than us, do forget the win and just pray we don't get smashed.

But we are Carlton...We win when we're not supposed to, and lose (often) when we're expected to win.
It defies logic that we will drop this one. ;)
In all seriousness...it will not surprise me one iota if we win this.

Bulldogs - 14th
Eagles : 11th
St Kilda - 16th
Adelaide - 9th
Richmond - 5th
Port Adelaide - 7th
Richmond - 5th
Gold Coast - 14th

Richmond and Port are the only teams we beat that we shouldn't over the last 18 months. We seem to only beat bottom 8 sides outside of them.

Because we are bottom 4 standard (at best). Do rate us better than where we are on the ladder?
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Judd, Curnow, Armfield, Walker all possible ins to strengthen us. Who misses out?

Ellard inj, Robbo? Yaz? Mclean? Carrots i think deserves a couple more games, looked rusty.

If Jarred Waite plays, Malthouse is as weak as piss.
I don't care if he kicks 8 and we win, he is useless long term and should have been traded years ago.
Why should we continue to accept mediocrity?

We have never tasted success against Geelong at Eithad in 11 attempts. Nothing will change on Friday night.

Yep. We are where we are. Next season, we will play the bottom 6 twice.

Do you sit in a dark room listening to some dark mozart music making gloomy predictions for 24 hours a day?

We're due for a win.
We have no chance of winning.
So...we will win.

Makes no sense....but remember this is Carlton we are talking about.

Traditionally, Geelong cannot keep up with us. We are too quick for them.
Hopefully Yarran doesn't get rubbed out, i doubt he will.
Hopefully we get both Walker and Armfield back....maybe Judd too.

I'd look at losing Carrazzo, Ellard (inj) and McLean.

Load up on speed, and let them chase tail.

Play casboult at FF and tell him to lead straight up the corridor, anybody who stands in the hole in front of him is to be given serious doubts about doing it a second time.

Make geelongs backmen start watching their back and get the ball moving in with speed and all we have to do is convert and we win.

that was 4 years ago - we're a yard or 2 slower these days

Still reckon we are faster than the cats.

Unfortunately,  it is not 95 and we are not better than them

Can we forfeit? Makes for a better long weekend.

Cats have more to play for and I would expect them to win by 30 points plus...........its over for us this season and I think Malthouse might have the one last crack this game then revert to the kids and tank for a better draft pick......

This side has traditionally had a poor back end to the season. God help us when finals are out of the picture and there is little to play for.

Can we envoke a mercy rule?
